New Faces

For reasons I have identified before in this blog, I no longer can stand to watch CNN election coverage or general coverage of a tooth extraction.

And, as also noted previously, I am a fan of MSNBC in general.

However, with the impeding send-off of Chris Matthews, his show Hardball will need a new host.

Seeing as how I loathe to watch Gregory and his pompous ass, and seeing how he already has a show, I am getting the sneaky suspicion that one David Schuster is being groomed to at least take Matthews' job for the near future.

While I didn't care for the hilarious penalty he paid for his "gaffe" in saying the Clinton's had "pimped-out" Chelsea (he was correct, mind you), and I supported his right to free speech, and I didn't feel any disciplinary action was warranted at the time...I cannot stand Schuster as a host.

He is in the same vein as Blitzer, and Gregory, and he marks a growing trend for news anchors to be completely void of any personality on screen.

This is why I love Olbermann, and I love Maddow. It's not just that they are both left-leaning to be sure, they have personality. It's also why I tend to like Pat Buchanan, tho a nut-job he is, but he has some spunk, and he's not afraid to speak his mind.

I loved watching the late Peter Jennings when he ran the ABC News unit and when he was on screen because he had a charming, and witty personality.

I want personality MSNBC, I don't want a drone. Matthews was often over the top, occasionally inappropriate, but he was fun to watch and he had interesting things to say.

PLEASE replace Matthews with someone with a brain and a personality.
